New Publisher announced at the Star Ledger

by: Jason Springer

Wed Dec 16, 2009 at 01:30:00 PM EST



The new year will bring a new publisher to the Star Ledger and it will be Richard Vezza:
A native of Union City, the 61-year-old Vezza began his journalism career in 1974 as a night police reporter for The Hudson Dispatch in Hudson County. After working as an editor and publisher at several New Jersey papers, he joined The Star-Ledger's sister company, Penn Jersey Advance, in 2000 as its president.
These have been difficult times for print media and the Star Ledger has not been able to dodge the trend. They have cut back on staff, consolidated departments and changed the paper itself in order to save money, but Vezza said he's not planning further major changes:
Vezza told The Star-Ledger Tuesday that he envisioned it remaining as a daily newspaper and is not planning any major changes, despite continuing troubles in the newspaper industry.

Vezza will assume his new role on Jan. 1.

Vezza replaces the former publisher, George Arwady who served in that position since 2004. Arwady will will become publisher of The Republican of Springfield, Mass.
